The star who appeared on the programme back in 2019 has completely transformed his way of life since his reality stint and looks very different. Nowadays, the Manchester-born star works alongside high-end fashion brands including Louis Vuitton and has also modelled for Vogue.
But he's not the only famous face in his family, with Jordan recently taking to social media to praise his younger brother which left their online fans completely speechless. The 28-year-old is the brother of Manchester United midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo, 18. Jordan entered the villa on Day 14 before being brutally dumped on Day 52 following a public vote.

Fans have also praised Kobbie and insisted that he starts "every match" following his performance against Liverpool on Sunday. The star started the match following the absence of Bruno Fernandes and it certainly went down well with fans.
"Kobbie Mainoo should start every match he's fit to play from here on in. United best central midfielder already," said one. A second added: "Passed the Anfield test with ease. Build the club around Kobbie Mainoo." Another tweeted: "Mainoo has played at Goodison, St James's Park and Anfield over the last few weeks and was probably Utd's best player in all of them. Ridiculous talent."
Meanwhile, Ten Hag told the media: "He has some calmness and composure. His biggest quality is his scanning but he is good physically. He is young, will adjust to the game and will adjust to the intensity of the Premier League. When you are good enough you are old enough. He proved that and when he gets used to those games, we will even get more joy from it.
"With his scanning and speed of action, he can get switches in, he is the player who can really hurt opponents."
